Learn how to play Bridge!

Bridge is one of the five mind sports. Chess, Checkers and Chinese Checkers and Go among the other games in this category.

It can, and should, be called a "mind sport" rather than a game, because it has no luck factor what so ever!

It's a game played with a partner, against an opponent partnership.

At the beginning of each hand or board you'll play, you will have in front of you a pre dealt Bridge deal: 13 cards for each person at the table.

At the end of that deal, you'll put back your 13 cards - that you keep for yourself during the play - into the slot where it came from.

This enables the element that allows us to call Bridge a sport: it eliminates the luck factor.

The purpose behind each person playing a predetermined hand and save it as it was found originally, is to have that same hand or deal be played by everyone else. This way, results are attained by comparison.

Each person plays the same hand under the same conditions. If any "bad luck" occurs, then it will so be for everyone playing in that position. In the long term, skill, odds and strategy prevail!
